Sangju City in North Gyeongsang Province has established an urban forest in Bunhwang-ri, Nakdong-myeon, as part of its climate response strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. The forest, designed to block fine dust, is thriving due to systematic maintenance including mowing, weeding, and irrigation. The city plans to expand these efforts to other areas like Cheongni-myeon. Local officials emphasize that consistent post-construction management is key to the project's success, turning the forest into a green space for residents while reducing air pollution. This initiative serves as a model for other local governments in South Korea aiming to integrate green infrastructure into their carbon neutrality goals.
